Advanced practice nurses are lifelong learners, partly due to necessity and partly due to mindset. Naturally, nurses need to stay abreast of advances in the healthcare field, as well as the introduction of new technology, processes, and regulations. But nurses also need to cultivate a growth mindset and see setbacks and challenges as opportunities to develop professionally. Take a moment to reflect on what you have learned and how you have grown as a result of the experiences at your practicum site and within this course.

This week, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate that growth in your Final Clinical Evaluation. You must also finish entering all clinical hours and patient encounters for this practicum. PRAC 6635 Week 10: Final Clinical Evaluation

Students will:

• Describe clinical hours and patient encounters

• Dates
• Course
• Clinical Faculty
• Preceptor
• Total Time (for the day)
• Notes/Comments–including the objective to which the log entry is aligned

Throughout this course, you will also keep a log of patient encounters using Meditrek. You must record at least 80 patients by the end of this practicum.

The patient log must include the following:

• Date
• Course
• Clinical Faculty
• Preceptor
• Patient Number
• Client Information
• Visit Information
• Practice Management
• Diagnosis
• Student Notes- Students must include a brief summary/synopsis of the patient visit—this does not need to be a SOAP note; however, the note needs to be sufficient to remember your patient encounter

Record your clinical hours and patient encounters in Meditrek.

Your clinical instructor will complete an evaluation with feedback from your preceptor and evaluation of your work.    Meditrek calculates an average score which will be used to determine the score that will be entered into Blackboard for your evaluation grade.

Students must demonstrate achievement of the clinical learning outcomes for the course by achieving a minimum score of 3 (meets requirements) on all criteria on the final evaluation. Scores of less than 3 on any criteria can lead to course failure or the implementation of a clinical performance improvement plan.
